Unexpected offensive punch helped the Rampage pull out a 3-2, come-from-behind shootout win over the Oklahoma City Barons on Saturday at the AT&T Center.

Second-year center Jared Gomes' goal in the sixth round of the shootout was the game-winner, and newcomer Steve Pinizzotto's first Rampage marker fueled the win.

Gomes, scoreless in all 12 Rampage games this season, used his observation skills and hockey acumen to beat Barons goaltender Tyler Bunz.

“I noticed on (Jon Matsumoto's) fake shot the goalie went down a bit, so I tried the same thing and it worked out,” said Gomes, who was a pleasant surprise to the Rampage as a rookie last year with 16 goals. “Hopefully the points will start coming for me now that I broke that goose egg.”

Pinizzotto, who skated in 12 games for the Vancouver Canucks in the NHL last season, scored on his second Rampage shift, positioned perfectly at the side of the net for a rebound off the backboard at 7:36 of the first period.

“It was an open net play and it worked out well,” said Pinizzotto, who also played 24 games with the Chicago Wolves in the AHL last season.

There was some expected offense as well by team scoring leader Vincent Trocheck, as the Rampage battled back from a 2-1 deficit entering the third period.

The rookie center's top shelf shot over Bunz' glove tied the game with 7:48 remaining in regulation while the Rampage enjoyed a two-man advantage, making an immediate impression on new Rampage coach Tom Rowe.

“The kid, he doesn't seem to get nervous about anything. I know he's a first-year guy but he does have a lot of poise and skill,” said Rowe, who succeeded Peter Horachek, who was promoted to coach the Florida Panthers.
